OK, now clearly there's a difference between Open Sky and a regular Sunroof on A3 (Sportback & 3dr), but does anyone know the comparitive dimensions of each, and by how much do they retract?
(Let's leave aside the fixed 2nd glass roof on the Open Sky, which I know doesn't open at all.)
My existing 1998 A3 has a decent sunroof - it retracts all the way back, and the manually operated blind is solid (and I like the position pre-select switch also which is cool).
Some time ago I test drove a Sportback with Open Sky and was a tad disappointed: the glass didn't retract all the way back - contributing to quite a bit of whistle/wind noise at speed - and the blind was mesh so you couldn't block out shafts of overhead sunlight, if that's what you wanted.
Having never seen the sunroof option on the latest 3 door A3, can anyone tell me how it differs? Does it retract fully, and does it have mesh or solid blind?
Thanks
Richard
